As one of the people who wanted Mura-chan to be Mura-kun: I don't want it that much, thanks.

First of all, while I do personally think I'm a better writer than whoever writes on staff...I'd rather be a consumer. And second, do YOU really think that we should be driving the bus, so to speak? Yeah, we think we'd be better at it, but it'd probably just turn into a mess in a bunch of different ways.

Hell, if mob rule had its way, Diedrich would have exploded at the end of the Easter event. Which...might not have been a bad thing, but...

That said, I personally think a "Telephone"-style acknowledgement would be uproarious. (Although, given that Gaia's FOR TEH TEENZ and apparently, in America, we've decided that teenagers are not allowed to know what penises and vaginas are (aside from eldritch horrors that are not to be explored until heterosexual marriage), I think an "I told you she didn't have a d**k" [obvious warning for mature content] would be too much to bear.) But I'm half and half on that - I remember that even when that video came out, there was a huge thing over that line as it was construed as transphobic.

Which...well, I gave Gaga a pass on it at the time because she was the subject of a lot of gender speculation at the time. (I'm not transgendered, so my opinion counts for less...but that's my opinion.) I think Gaia, even though it share three letters of its name with her, would have a significantly higher barrier to climb.

Even if Murasaki is biologically male she identifies as female so I don't think it matters. *shrug*

This is what I thought when we got dev confirmation that she is a girl. They're just being respectful of her trans status of female.

doesn't change the fact that saka or whoever just drew a dude in a dress

cue new art sooner than expected

That totally reminds me of that news about the Canadian transgender pageant contestant...

Now that just made me sad.
A trans woman pretty enough to win a beauty pageant deserves her win.

I''m not really updated but i think she's trying to win her case...
i'm not actually against it or for it, but being a pure femme myself, it kinda feels weird (and semi-amazed) to know that there are men who are prettier than women and that there really are "bishounen" in the real world after all...

If she WERE a trap, she should be straight, because alooooot of crossdressers are heterosexual men. trf cedkncfed And itd be more fun that way.
"Whys that Lolita chick hitting on Sasha...? Shes strai- OAO -sees them making out-"

XD I think finding out about some of the crossdressing lolita/scene male leads in J-pop bands initiated me to the existence of IRL bishonen...

If it weren't for the fact that Murasaki is supposed to be that girl from the profiles, I'd say she has to be a man. But as it is, she's just a female NPC who got drawn in a way that made her look more masculine. If we ever see her in another context (manga, event, game, etc) it's likely they will make her look more feminine.
